Hollow Ones is a dark, atmospheric horror short set in a decaying farmhouse on the edge of endless fields. With shades of psychological terror and gothic surrealism, the film explores isolation, control, and the loss of innocence through unsettling family dynamics. The tone is claustrophobic, haunting, and visceral. Performances should emphasize both emotional truth and physical presence within a nightmarish world.

This horror short is a passion project being put together by a team of well seasoned filmmakers who have experience working directly on large productions for companies like Disney, Warner Brothers Entertainment, and others of a similar calibre. We are looking for cast members who are open to creative collaboration, and who are willing to work on a creatively fulfilling project that despite being operated with the upmost professionalism, is by nature a smaller production than what this team may be used to.

A young child trapped in a decaying farmhouse endures the suffocating control of his deranged mother, all while being stalked by a sinister scarecrow who rules the surrounding fields. Tormented by Mother’s whispers of eternal confinement, and the scarecrow’s unblinking gaze the child turns to its terrifying presence in a desperate bid to reclaim power; using horror itself to strike back against their oppressor. Claustrophobic, haunting, and visceral, the film explores isolation, control, and the corruption of innocence within a nightmarish world.
